Chapter 539： Don't take Chelsea as a local tyrant

"Master Huan!"

"Hello Master Huan!"

When Yang Huan opened the door of the meeting room and stepped in, everyone in the meeting room immediately stood up.

All the meetings here today are the core high-level leaders of Southampton.

Including the head coach Bielsa of Staples Wood, the chief assistant coach Luis Borini, Ramon Madoni of the scout department, the youth training consultant Jorge Grifa, the head of the youth training department Les Reid and so on.

The administrative office at St. Mary’s Stadium includes executive chairman Nicolas Cortez, CEO Peter Kenyon, COO Ron Gurley, and the top leaders of other core departments in the office.

It also includes the core executives of the medical department and the analysis department, such as Marcus Du Sartoy and Howard Hamilton, both of whom are now vital members of Southampton.

From the perspective of staffing alone, Southampton does not lose to any giant team in continental Europe.

When Yang Huan walked into the conference room, there was a bright smile on his face, and he waved at everyone who stood up, "Sit all, all sit!"

On the other hand, he walked to the vacant position at the top, and sat down directly.

After a glance, Young Master Huan smiled when he saw everyone present sitting down.

"Well, let's start the meeting!"

Yang Huan gave an order, and as the host of the meeting, Nicolas Cortez took the lead to speak on the meeting agenda.

Immediately afterwards, Peter Kenyon introduced the club's operations in the past month, and the coaching staff Luis Bolini also introduced the team's games.

Originally, Bielsa was responsible for the athletics aspect, but everyone knows that Argentine lunatics don’t like to talk very much. Even the dressing room training is usually in charge of Luis Bolini, so the reporting work is usually given to Bori. Ni.

Overall, it seems that all things in Southampton are progressing smoothly and fairly well.

Whether it is in the management of the team or the results of the game, Southampton is very satisfying, even if it has caused a lot of controversy recently.

After Yang Huan listened to various reports, he immediately raised his own questions.

"The performance of the team has declined recently, Marcus, what do you think?"

Marcus Du Satoy is also well prepared, "Master Huan, since December last year, we have been actively cooperating with the coaching staff to adjust the training of the players. The purpose is to hope that the team can better In the second half of the campaign in excellent condition, we have also fully borrowed the practices of many teams including Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea in the past ten years."

Yang Huan nodded, "Is that effective?"

"Well, of course!" Professor Satoy nodded very confidently.

"Specifically, individual players have to be analyzed in detail, but the overall situation of the team is in our plan."

"Okay, very good!" Yang Huan nodded in praise.

One sentence is equivalent to affirming the results of Professor Satoy and his team.

There are many aspects involved, and it is necessary to have very professional knowledge to be able to figure it out.

Yang Huan asked himself that he didn't have this level, so he didn't want to know more about it. He just wanted to know if the team could handle it.

Since Bielsa has no problem as a head coach and Professor Satoy is so confident, then it must be no problem.

"Marcelo!" Yang Huan looked at Bielsa, "Valane's situation is not very good recently, what do you think?"

After being named, Bielsa nodded and said: "Yes, from the own goal that caused the team to be eliminated from the League Cup, to the two goals conceded in Manchester United, Varane's situation is indeed quite bad, but I believe he can overcome it. ."

Varane is recognized within the team, the core player of the future Saints central defender.

Nearly perfect physical fitness, fairly good foot skills, excellent overall view, calm and mature personality, these have created the undisputed great prospect of Varane.

Even if it were not for the own goal incident and frequent mistakes against Manchester United, Varane would have been crowned the title of world-class central defender by many fans and the media.

It's just that the series of mistakes in the recent period reminded everyone that he was only 19 years old!

"What can the team do?" Yang Huan asked again.

Bielsa thought for a while and shook his head: "This is a psychological problem that needs to be overcome by himself. I will talk to him more and arrange for him to take a few breaks. I believe he can come out."

"What about the renewal?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.

"Renewal?" Bielsa was a little surprised.

"Yes, I think Varane has performed well this season and is very stable. He should start to renew his contract. This is the reward he deserves, and renewing at this time is our affirmation and encouragement to him! "

Everyone present heard what Young Master Huan said and nodded their heads.

This boss is good, reliable!

The bosses of other teams are all players who make trouble through their agents to get a contract extension.

But our boss is not. It's just that you are doing well, so it's rare for you to renew your contract?

"That's it, Ron, look back for someone to negotiate with his agent and negotiate a contract renewal before the end of the season!"

After a pause, Yang Huan added, "Remember, he will be the core of our defense for the next ten years!"

This sentence is tantamount to establishing Varane's core position in the Southampton team.

How many players can be valued so much by Master Huan?

Neuer, Tony Cross, Ibrahimovic, who else?

It seems, no more!

"Master Huan, since Varane's contract is to be renewed, how to solve Gary Cahill's problem?" Ron Gurley also raised his own question.

So far this season, Gary Cahill has clearly fallen behind Varane and even Nastasic in the order of central defenders, which makes Gary Cahill very dissatisfied.

The main force of the British empire, Zhongwei, can only sit on the bench in Southampton?

And, is it still the bench among the benches?

So, during the winter break, Gary Cahill's agent started contacting buyers.

Don't tell me, this connection came out immediately.

Chelsea!

The Sun reported that Abramovich decided to invite Mourinho, who had just dropped off from the Real Madrid coach, to return to Stamford Bridge next season, and the Portuguese asked for a central defender. It is said that the first choice is Gary. Cahill.

"Does Abramovich really want it?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.

Ron Gurley nodded, "Yes, Granovsky called me personally and asked about Gary Cahill's transfer fee. I can hear that they really want it, and it is said that they have a relationship with the players. Contact."

Yang Huan was noncommittal. He matured rapidly in Varane and became the backbone of the team's defense. With Nastasic also growing rapidly, Gary Cahill was obviously not reused by Bielsa in Southampton, and the transfer was justified. It’s no big deal.

"Then you tell Chelsea, our Southampton players are less than 20 million pounds, they don't expect to buy it!"

"Twenty million?"

When Yang Huan said this, everyone in the conference room was shocked.

20 million pounds?

Are you kidding me?

If Gary Cahill was worth this price last summer, it is still possible, but now, he has become a substitute. Who would be so stupid to spend 20 million pounds to buy a substitute for someone else's home?

"Master Huan, I'm afraid Abramovich is not so bold, right?" Ron Gurley smiled bitterly.

Yang Huan laughed, "Who said no? You don't know, we Abramovich has a lot of money, 60 million pounds to buy Tony Kross, without blinking, we will send it directly after changing hands. Give it to us. Buy Gary Cahill for 20 million. It's a trivial matter. If you offer too little, Chelsea will be unhappy and think you don't regard them as a local tyrant!"

Everyone knew the cause and effect well, and when they heard Young Master Huan say this, they all burst into laughter.

If Abramović heard it, Master Huan would spit him up, vomiting blood for three liters of anger.

"Also, tell Chelsea again, you can buy if you want to buy, and if you don't, Gary Cahill has no shortage of interested buyers!"

Just kidding, dignified England's main national defender, will the team be interested?

It's just a matter of price!

Peter Kenyon felt that Master Huan seemed to be nonsense, but in fact it made sense.

Gary Cahill is just not suitable for Southampton's tactical style transformation, it does not mean he is incapable.

Just ask, if the England international is not capable, can it become the main force of the national team? Can you partner with Terry?

Since it is capable, the best choice for Southampton is to transfer to a foreign country, or a mid-lower team, so that it will not strengthen its competitors.

If Chelsea force it, yes, you will have to pay a higher transfer fee than others!

Otherwise, just send it back to Bolton. Gary Cahill does not reject his old club anyway.

"Understood, Master Huan, we'll make a deal!" Peter Kenyon's eyes flashed, and he nodded in agreement.

Yang Huan smiled appreciatively at Mr. Bald. Talking to smart people is an easy way.

"Okay, next one!"

Following the order from Young Master Huan, one topic after another began to be discussed in the conference room.

For example, the R&D department recently proposed a new set of training programs, including improving the team’s dietary structure, adjusting the team’s training programs and other measures. It is said to improve and improve the physical fitness of players, including improving physical fitness and reducing injuries. .

A very important part of the training program is related to Huang Wenying's TCM Tuina group.

This undoubtedly aroused Yang Huan's great interest.

I have invested so much money every year, and now I finally see some results. Can I be upset?

Moreover, it can also promote Chinese medicine by the way, killing two birds with one stone!

Ever since, everyone in the room is there, just spread it out and talk.

After all, this is related to the team, and people from all departments must participate in the discussion.

As a leader in the field of athletics, Bielsa believes that from a cautious perspective, it should be done during the summer preparations.

It is now at a critical moment in the league. If there is a problem, everyone on the team will be in vain.

It can be arranged during the summer preparation period, the risk is controllable, the scientific research personnel and the analysis team are always watching the team, once a problem occurs, it can be adjusted immediately, and the impact on the new season will not be significant.

If it is really effective, then promote it, and it will also benefit the team.

In the end, Bielsa's proposal was approved by everyone so this matter was negotiated.

And entering February, many things need to be planned.

For example, Southampton prepares for the summer, because it is still going to the United States to participate in the second International Champions Cup, so the Southampton training location is still in the United States.

With the experience of last year, it will be easier to operate this year. Many things have been prepared for a long time, so the problem is not big, that is, the administrative department draws up a plan, and after discussing it, it is announced.

There is another issue that is also very important and should be determined as soon as possible.

That is the operation plan of the Southampton summer transfer market.

As early as after the game against Arsenal in Southampton, Yang Huan discussed these issues in depth with Bielsa at St. Mary's Stadium. In the following month, both Staplewood and St. Mary were also involved. Investigate these issues.

Now, it is undoubtedly the time to make a decision!
